This Values Framework has been developed to increase awareness and understanding of the role of peer worker. Peer workers are individuals with personal experience of mental health problems who are trained and employed to support others. The framework is grounded in six core values: authenticity, hope, experience, mutuality, responsibility, and empowerment. The document sets out how each value translates in practice, and through which behaviour they can be demonstrated. (Edited publisher abstract)
